Welcome to the Women's Fund for the Fox Valley Region, Inc., an organization working to create positive social change by funding programs that improve our community by investing in the unique needs and talents of women and girls. The Women's Fund pools together gifts both large and small from a broad base of donors to support our grants, education and advocacy work.
Worldwide, women and children are disproportionately represented among victims of violence, the poorest of the poor, and the uneducated. In the United States, 37 million people live below the poverty line—21 million of them are women. When you give a woman equal access to opportunity, her family and community will thrive.
